Chapter Seventy-Six: Persuasion
Chen Ye was unhappy when he heard that Hu wanted to let him go to the parrot in the second room, and said, "Other people's things are also liked by other people's children, why should they give them to your home?"
He also said that his two brothers were already very good, and he always remembered the friendship that he provided for them. The third room of the pen and the fun www.biquge.info built a big house for them, and the life of the second room was just good, so they often sent food and drink to their own house, and also sent so many satin. Let her not be so shallow-eyed, she wants everything, if she continues like this, it will dilute their brotherhood......
While Chen Ye and Hu were talking, Chen Agui walked in and said, "Mother, just listen to some persuasion." It's not good that you always ask your uncles for things like this. Dad and I have worked day and night, and we haven't wronged you and my sisters, our family is now a rich family with a good life in the village, so you can save some face for your father and me. and Ah Ju, my mother has to teach her well. ”
Chen Agui is a stuffy person who doesn't talk much, and it's rare to say so much.
Chen Ming said, "Agui is right, if you want to detain Aju, you are about to find someone from your mother-in-law's family, and you are still so ignorant." ”
Hu Shi thought of this, endured it for a while, and then suppressed what he wanted to say.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as Luo Mei and Luo Kaicheng didn't come to play at home, Chen Dabao was busy going to the east of the village to collect firewood. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon, he had to pick up more and save them, and when they went to Fucheng at the beginning of the next month, his grandfather would have a burn. Sometimes Chen Afu will accompany him when he finishes the work in hand.
After the 20th, although the corn stalks were pulled back to the yard many times, they were not yet dry, and they had to wait a few days for them to dry thoroughly before they could be burned as firewood.
If the little brother and sister come, Dabao will play with them, and Chen Afu will also change his tricks to get some food.
On this night, the first autumn rain was ushered in. It rained all night.
The next day, when Chen Dabao finished writing the big characters, he saw that Luo Kaicheng's sister and brother did not come, so he consciously took Chasing Wind to the village to ask Xiaoshi and Sixizi to collect firewood together. Xiao Shi and Si Xizi don't need them to collect firewood at home, but the two of them are willing to follow Dabao to play in the woods.
Chen Afu persuaded, "The ground is still a little wet, can you go again tomorrow?"
Dabao shook his head and said, "No, I want to save more firewood for my grandfather." ”
Chen Afu can only follow him. Qiqi and Gray still wanted to play with him, Chen Afu instructed, "If you want to play, just fly a few laps in the air, or go to the forests in the mountains, stay away from people, don't be caught." ”
Qiqi and Gray listened to this, spread their wings, and flew high into the sky.
Chen Afu took the clothes made for Yang Qian and went to the east house of the old courtyard to make them. She was doing her work in her hands, and she was talking to Chen Ming and Wang.
At this time, Hu Shi came. She didn't call at the door, but opened the fence door and came in.
The Wang family had no choice but to welcome her into the East House.
Chen Afu had already put the satin used to make small clothes into the kang cupboard, and he was so depressed that he used his own satin to make clothes, just like a thief.
Hu Shi is rarely full of spring breeze today. After arguing with them for a while, he said, "Hey, what about your two birds?"
Wang said, "Go out and play." ”
Hu Shi smiled and said, "I will show my second uncle and younger siblings how to make money, and your family's life will be better in the future." I heard my fifth brother say that he has a friend in the county who likes talking parrots very much, so I asked my fifth child to help him collect them, saying that it was a parrot for five taels of silver. Tsk, two is ten taels, this money is enough for your family to earn for more than a year. How about letting my fifth child have a relationship and help you sell the bird? We in the countryside, the important thing is to be fed and clothed, where is there spare money to raise pets like rich and noble families. ”
Chen Afu, Chen Ming, and Wang secretly cursed, when they were fools? Qiqi and Gray could talk a lot, and they knew the way home, and such a smart parrot should be the most expensive bird in the bird market, each of which could be sold for at least a few hundred taels of silver.
They now have a very deep relationship with these two birds, and no matter how difficult the family is, they will not sell them, not to mention that they are not short of money now. At the beginning, Tangyuan bought it at a high price, but Dabao was reluctant to sell it.
Chen Ming directly refused, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you still think of us with this way to make a fortune." It's just that these two parrots are like our family now, and we are reluctant to sell them no matter how much money we have. ”
Wang added, "We don't dare to sell it. Steward Luo told my Dabao that his little master likes this bird, and his sister will come to Tangyuan in the future, and he will have to let Dabao take them to play with his sister. ”
Hu Shi sank his face and said, "I know that you are in charge of Luo, and you won't be involved in him for big things, right?" My fourth brother-in-law is a poor master in the yamen, and he also accompanied the county lieutenant to Steward Luo's house for dinner last year, and we didn't take it out at every turn. No matter how good you are with Luo, have you ever eaten at Luo's house? Can you catch up with the relationship between my fourth brother-in-law and him? Why do you like his little master, you have to play with this bird. I've heard that there are a lot of birds in big houses, and they hang all over the yards. The master of Tangyuan is such a rich family, can the little master still be rare with your two broken birds? ”
She really felt that the owner of Tangyuan would not be rare with these two birds, and she definitely didn't expect that these two birds would sell for a huge amount of money, otherwise she would not be so calm at all. What Hu Lao Wu told her was that he could sell the two birds for twenty-five taels of silver each in the county seat. He kept twenty taels, and the remaining thirty taels were given to the Hu family. Hu Shi thought about keeping twenty taels for himself and ten taels for Chen Ming, which was already good. Who would have thought that his family was still reluctant to sell.
Chen Ming said slowly, "We don't take Qiao, and we don't need Hu Lao Wu to help us kindly." These two birds are like our family, and they will not be sold for any amount of money. ”
Seeing that Hu Shi was still going to say, Chen Afu said with a smile, "Auntie, my grandmother told us, if you come to my house behind my uncle's back to anger my father and make my father sick, let us tell her, she will set rules for you." If it's too much, she will tell my uncle that you care about my third uncle crying for a house. ”
Hu's heart sank, how could the old lady and the second room know about that matter? It seems that the third child is not an honest person, and he has always said that he is good.
She was so angry that she stared at Chen Ming and asked, "Second uncle, it turns out that my sister-in-law served you wholeheartedly when I didn't separate from the family, and you are so unsympathetic, so you let your daughter treat me like this?"
Chen Ming laughed sarcastically a few times and said, "Sister-in-law, I have always remembered the goodness of my eldest brother, and I have always remembered your love. It turns out that when I didn't break up, you 'served' me really well. If you don't have the virtue of those years, there are some things, I really can't lose face like my third brother. ”
The word "service" bites very hard.
Hu Shi remembered how he scolded Chen Ming when he was not separated. Over the years, she has often talked about how she served her uncle, and after talking about it for a long time, even she herself mistakenly thought that she was so virtuous in the past.
